Has anyone ever worn these to a mud run/obstacle course race? If so, do they dry fairly fast? How did they perform?

I don't know if this will be good for a mud run.These have skits on the side that goes up the thigh.If you sprint or do a forward push kick most of your leg will be exposed. I personaly don't like that but it gives you good range of motion.It does dry pretty well but i have only used tinto workout although i am a heavy sweater.If you do buy these for a mud run i would suggest wearing compressing. Pants under them to protect you legs and thighs for moisture and mud.One other thing try to get the correct size.if you get it to big it will flare out around the leg similar to a skirt or over sized shorts. Hope this helps. I don't know if this will be good for a mud run.These have skits on the side that goes up the thigh.If you sprint or do a forward push kick most of your leg will be exposed.

I have worn them to the beach on many occassions and they dry within minutes after getting out of the water. Nothing better out there for the money.

I run in the rain with mine and so far no issues, my current pair is over year old. I sweat in them daily.

I use them for running. I ran a trail 1/2 marathon in them last year in icy conditions and they worked great. Very good on ice and hardpack snow. In deep, soft snow they don't help much.

Yes! I used it for tough Mudder, I went through mud, swam through tons of water, and it gave no problems at all,

I've used them in heavy rain and when I hit the gym for a couple hours and never experienced any issues. They stay in place and don't get slippery. The sound quality seems pretty consistent, the more expensive models mostly add volume and soundtrack control. I think there is a mic but I've never explored that.

I use them in my Jeep and I NEVER have a top on the summer. Many rainstorms, zero problems. I have sat on them soaking wet and in a few minutes my butt and back are toasty and they dry my seats very quickly

There a lot of factors at play here. A lot of that does depend on where you are in the world and your relative humidity. Under normal conditions they dry in a few hours. I highly recommend these, even if your feet sweat a lot they stay pretty dry and help avoid blisters.

Definitely will do well in the dirt. The material is between medium and heavy-duty. Very durable and comfy! Not too much ventilation though--I used them while in equatorial Africa and survived, but was a bit hot.

i've had no problems using them in the rain, i don't know if they're waterproof or not, but a whole day running up and down a 400 meter range with the military, they did there job.

I wear mine outside all the time, usually on short trips like to the mailbox. I've worn them in rain and snow, but I've always avoided puddles and slush. Dry snow and light rain were never a problem. I never really gave them a torture test, but they are water-resistant in any case. I doubt that they are water-proof.

I found that they generally kept me dry. I used them for cold weather 'wave running' so water gets everywhere but with good socks these worked very well. I would recommend them as the best thing I have found.

Hi, I do not workout or run. Therefore, I can not respond to your questions. They hold pretty tight. I used them for traveling, but after a couple of hours I had to take them off. Too uncomfortable and like I said too tight.

I'm not sure. I dried mine and they seem to be ok, but I've only worn them once.

I find them fairly quick to dry. I haven't hand washed though, only machine. They do come virtually dry from the machine so if you have a warmish spot to put them overnight I think they would be fine. I would test them at home first, and take two pairs so you can rotate if they are still damp.

I don't know about mud. But when the ground outside has been wet (after a rain) workers have put these on and I've not had a problem with them getting the floors dirty. I have used the same pair of booties 3 - 4 times before tossing them (used over tennis shoes) and they were not ripped or anything. Hope that helps. If there's anything more specific you want to know, just ask.

I've had them about a month. Like the comments below, they are not heavy duty, but they are made pretty well. I use them when I ride 4 wheelers on the weekend. We ride in the woods and mud. I've been knee deep in mud and they haven't leaked yet. Sticks and briars hit them all the time and they haven't picked or torn yet. The best way I can describe the fabric above the boot is a silky nylon, medium thickness. I don't worry about abusing them with what I use them for, but you might with beaver dam busting.

My wife had no issues with them in the dry. I would imagine they would deteriorate in the wet conditions as it states sweat can be an issue. And if you are considering the pool it would be worse due to the chlorine.
